Looking for designer of highway through South Banat again, price tripled – 65 km in four lanes from Pancevo to Romanian border

The PE Roads of Serbia has opened the new tender for the preliminary design with a feasibility study of the highway E-70, section Pancevo-Vrsac-Romanian border, and the value of the tender is RSD 600 million (around EUR 5.1 million).

This tender was also opened at the end of last year, but was stopped five days later. As said in the explanation of the decision of the Roads of Serbia of November 20, 2023, “the need has stopped” for that public procurement procedure and it would not be repeated in the same budget year, that is, in the next six months. At the time, the value of the job was estimated at RSD 180 million.

According to the tendering documentation, within the program for the improvement of the traffic infrastructure, Serbia launched the initiative for the preparation of the preliminary project of the highway E-70, section Pancevo-Vrsac-Romanian border. This project aims to improve the traffic connection and create better conditions for the transport of people and goods between Serbia and the neighboring countries.

The proposed road route Belgrade-Pancevo-Vrsac-Vatin connects the European corridors IV and X, whereby, it is added, the international transport network is strengthened.

The length of the planned route from Pancevo to the border with Romania is around 65 km. The highway through South Banat will have 4 lanes of 3.75 meters each, shoulders of 2.5 m each, pullouts of a total of 3 m and a median strip of 3 m, as well as grass verges of 1.5 meters each. The estimated speed, on the section which goes through the plain, is 130 km/h.

Bids may be submitted by November 5, and more details (in Serbian) can be viewed HERE.
